We should celebrate the blooming hawthorn like the Japanese celebrate cherry blossoms.

#GreatConjuction between #JupiterandSaturn on this #WinterSolstice from #Stornoway #OuterHebrides!

The timing of the transit of the #Atlantic front was perfect this evening, leaving clear skies to watch this magnificent sight!

As the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction approaches, their moon systems are already merging in the sky. With our Moon and Pluto's 5 moons in the mix, tomorrow you'll be able to extend your fist at arm's length and cover 80% of our solar system's planetary moons.

@HendersGame We were talking about Ireland and Hallowe’en last night… :)

[juliedil @JulieDil]

Apparently Ireland is REALLY into Halloween. According to @GoogleTrends Ireland has the highest search interest for Halloween worldwide during October.

@aquestingvole Probably worth saying this is really all @plutokiller’s fault. I didn’t think to go planet-spotting until I did his Coursera course in the spring. Jupiter was not as user-friendly at the time, so I’ve kind of kept my eyes peeled ever since.

[Heather L. Wiencko @HLWiencko]

@aquestingvole Tonight is a bit shit, so you’re all spared. ;)

[Heather L. Wiencko @HLWiencko]

@aquestingvole I had to hold myself back from pointing it out again last night. “They’re in different places! Almost! And you can see them so well!” Maybe someday someone will give them a telescope and we’ll all go out to Carlow and talk about Jupiter’s rings.

[Heather L. Wiencko @HLWiencko]

@aquestingvole Love it. :)

@aquestingvole @uberalex Everything I’ve ever made has flaws; each reflects its maker truly if not kindly.

If you could end Covid-19 by sacrificing a JavaScript framework, which one would you choose and why Angular?

[Heather L. Wiencko @HLWiencko]

@InfiniteJess Pretty sure you’re Doing It Right.

[Heather L. Wiencko @HLWiencko]

@HendersGame You can call it a subtweet. It’s still very important that you tweet me directly.

[Heather L. Wiencko @HLWiencko]

@aquestingvole @twistedinc @fitzfromdublin @healywp @doc_griffiths @SSkorkowsky Done. Thank you!

[TwistedDoodles @twisteddoodles]

Realised that this lockdown is pretty much like being stuck on a starship. You get to have away missions to empty lands or busy market places. The rest of the time you’re fannying about with technology and drinking tea.

Overstimulating puddle of the day.

@InfiniteJess I didn’t see it (mea culpa) but I binge-listened to the soundtrack for a solid fortnight. I think people are still running some of the code I wrote while listening to it.

[Heather L. Wiencko @HLWiencko]

@InfiniteJess It usually involves nudes.

[Heather L. Wiencko @HLWiencko]

@yoyehudi @NomiHarris I tell people that killing Reader probably set science back by 3 years while everyone tried to remember how to keep up with journals without it. It’s an exaggeration, but maybe not by much.

[Heather L. Wiencko @HLWiencko]

I think I want this to be true, but it doesn’t say anything good about me as a person.

Other than that I still miss Reader.

[SwiftOnSecurity @SwiftOnSecurity]

Google would have a stronger Cloud Computing business if they hadn’t killed their free RSS reader 7 years ago.

This is both insane and absolutely true.
